ANNEXURE I

The Harvard Author-Date Referencing System

Referencing, or citing, means acknowledging the sources of information and ideas you have used in an assignment (e.g. essay or report). This is a standard practice at university and whenever you write an assignment that requires you to find and use information, you are expected to reference the source of the information in your writing. Sources could include books, journal or newspaper articles, pictures, diagrams or items from the internet. The two most common types of referencing systems used are:

author-date systemssuch as the Harvard system, APA and MLA numeric systemssuch as Chicago or Turabian, Vancouver and Footnote.

There are a number of variations of the Harvard system and this Guide presents one consistent version which is based on Snooks & Co (eds.) 2002, Style manual for authors, editors and printers, 6th edn, Wiley & Sons, Australia. The first part of the Guide outlines the main rules for referencing; the second part contains frequently asked questions and the final part contains examples of a range of reference types.

Why do we reference?
Academic assignments require wide reading so that the current thinking about a particular topic can be identified. Ideas expressed by other people reinforce the arguments you present in your assignment. The referencing in your assignment: shows the range of ideas and approaches that you have found and thought about gives your acknowledgement of where these ideas came from shows where your reader can locate the sources you have used avoids plagiarism. Plagiarism is presenting someone elses ideas and/or the way they express their ideas, as if they are your own. Plagiarism can be unintentional and appropriate referencing helps writers to avoid this.

Citation management software

Citation management software such as RefWorks and EndNote enables you to establish your own database of references, store and transfer them from the database to your own documents (e.g. an assignment). There is further information about this software in the Managing References link on the Librarys homepage.

24

How do you reference?

In-text reference
Every time you use someone elses ideas or information an intext reference must be included (this is sometimes called a citation). For example when you:

paraphrase (express someone elses idea in your own words) summarise (express someone elses idea concisely in your own words) quote (express someone elses idea in their exact words) copy (reproduce a diagram, table or any other graphic).

The in-text reference is shown each time you refer to an idea or information and should include:
the authors or editors family name (or organisation responsible). Do not include given

names or initials the year of publication page numbers if appropriate and where available.

There are two main ways to present an in-text reference. 1. In brackets, outside your sentence structure: Many factors are known to affect the successful outcomes for students at university (Johnston 2003). 2. using the authors name as part of your sentence structure, with the date in brackets: Johnston (2003) claims that there are many factors that are known to affect the success of students at university. Page numbers are included when you: use a direct quote from an original source summarise an idea from a particular page copy tables or figures, or provide particular details like a date. McLaine (2002, p. 16) stated that productivity was found to be affected by work related stress in 69% of workers.

The reference list

Each citation must have a matching entry in the reference list. It must have the full bibliographic details so that readers can find the source. The reference list is not a bibliography. A bibliography lists everything you may have read, while a reference list is limited to the in-text references in your assignment. A bibliography is not needed unless specifically asked for by your lecturer. The reference list is: titled References arranged alphabetically by authors family name, or title if a source has no author a single listbooks, journal articles and electronic sources are listed together and not arranged in separate lists.

Setting out items in a reference list

The main elements required for all references are the author, the date, the title and the publication information. The basic formats are shown in the examples below. These should be followed exactly, paying special attention to details of capitalisation, punctuation, italics and wording. Example of a book The basic format required for books is: Authors family name, Initial(s) year, Title of book, Publisher, Place of publication. Daly, J 2004, Nursing leadership, Elsevier, Sydney.

Component Daly, J 2004, Nursing leadership, Elsevier, Sydney.

Explanation The authors name, family name first, followed by a comma and an initial. Year of publication followed by a comma, no parentheses/brackets. Title in italics, followed by a comma. Upper case used for first letter; lower case for the rest. Publisher followed by a comma. Place of publication. If more than one place is listed give only the first listed. If there is another place of the same name or if the place is little known add the state or country. Full stop at the end.

Example of an academic journal article The basic format required for journal articles is: Authors family name, Initial(s) year, Title of article, Title of Journal, volume number, issue number, page range. Davis, L, Mohay, H & Edwards, H 2003, Mothers' involvement in caring for their premature infants: an historical overview, Journal of Advanced Nursing, vol. 42, no. 6, pp. 57886.

Component Thomas, S 1997, Guide to personal efficiency, Adelaide University, viewed 6 January 2004, <http://library.adelaide.edu.au/~sthomas /papers/perseff.html>.

Explanation Authors family name followed by a comma, then initial(s) with no punctuation after the initials. Year of publication followed by a comma, no brackets. Title of the source in italics, followed by a comma. The documents publisher, if known. Date the document was viewed with a comma after year. The internet address (URL or Uniform Resource Locator) is enclosed in < and >, with the full address and followed by a full stop if at the end.

Frequently asked questions

1. How do I reference an idea or information by one author (Author 1) which occurs in a book or journal article by another author (Author 2)? The rule is that you should mention both authors (Author 1 and Author 2) in your in-text reference; but in your reference list you only list the item you read, that is, by Author 2. For example, if you read about an idea by Lim (Author 1) in a book by Strauss (Author 2) you need to mention both in your in-text reference. So the in-text reference would be written as: Lim (Strauss 2004, p. 71) stated that or or or

Lims study (cited in Strauss 2004, p. 71) indicates that Lims 1972 study (Strauss 2004, p. 71) shows that

Strauss (2004, p. 71) in reporting Lims study, emphasized the aspect In the reference list you list only Strauss (Author 2 - the source you read) and not Lim (whose idea you only read about in Strauss).

2.

How do I present exact quotations? Short quotations of fewer than thirty words should be enclosed in single quotation marks (.) as part of your own sentence accompanied by an in-text reference including a page number. For example: A recent report showed that universities are forced to expect a significant level of independence from students in their learning (Pokorny & Pokorny 2005, p. 449). Long quotations of more than thirty words should be written without any quotation marks, indented (using Tab key) at the left, and introduced in your own words. A font one size smaller should be used followed by an in-text reference including a page number. For example: Australians have developed:

an emerging interest in values, vision, meaning and purpose which is the common characteristic of societies facing the end of a chronological era each new decade is approached as if it holds some new promise (Mackay 2005, p. 231).

The three dots after the word era show that a word or words have been left out.

3.

How do I reference two or three authors? When there are two or three authors for a reference, all their family names are included in the intext reference. For example: According to Cooper, Krever and Vann (2007) the use of this process leads to greater accuracy. or The use of this process leads to greater accuracy (Cooper, Krever & Vann 2007).

4.

How do I reference more than three authors? If there are four or more authors for a reference you use et al. (which is Latin for et alia meaning and the others) in the in-text reference, after the first family name listed on the source. For example: This has been suggested by Sandler et al. (2002) in their first Australian study. Use et al. for the first and every time you give an in-text reference for more than three authors. However, all the authors are listed in your reference list in the same order that they are listed in the original reference.

5 How do I reference the work of an author who has published more than one work in the same year If an author has published more than one work in the same year you place a lower case letter of the alphabet next to the year date and keep these letters in your reference list as well. For example: In a recent publication Pedder (2001b) argued that this process was only applicable in a few circumstances and that for small business alternative processes were more suitable (Pedder 2001a). The order in which you attach the letters is determined by the alphabetical order of the title of the works by the author.

Using citation management software

Citation management software such as RefWorks and EndNote allow you to set up your own database of stored references and to insert and format these references (both in-text references and reference lists) into your Word documents. For further information about citation management software explore the Managing References link on the Librarys homepage. Both RefWorks and EndNote have a Harvard author-date style. However the versions of the Harvard system used in both software packages are not the same as the version presented in this guide. The Refworks Harvard style is closest to the version in this guide. It is acceptable to use either software package for the references in your assignment and if you do, add a note such as the following under your References heading: This reference list has been compiled using the RefWorks (or EndNote, as applicable) version of the Harvard author-date system.

Cant find an example to match your resource?

If none of the examples (pages 8 to 14) match the resource you want to reference. Identify: the type of resource you want to reference (book, journal article, web page, blog, wiki, video etc). A book in electronic form is still categorised as a book the author or authors. An author can be an individual, a number of individuals, an editor (abbreviated to ed.) or a number of editors (eds), or an organisation (such as a business, a government department). If there is no author, use the title (in italics) the year the resource was produced. If there is no date the use the abbreviation n.d. which stands for no date the title of the resource.

Go to the example pages of this Guide and find a similar type of reference to use as a model. Then, construct your reference using the main elements you have identified, including the: author year of publication title publication information.
